    Ebay idiots!

    GRRRRRRRRRR im so cheesed off right now ....

    I sold a smashed up reliant robin on ebay for a work colleague, guys come to pick it up and it wont start.....He's understanding and decides to walk from the sale (and agrees to cancel the transaction through ebay - which he does)

    I apologised a couple of times and the guy seemed to be very nice about the whole situation

    Checked my feedback today and the bloke has decided to ruin my 100% feedback and make me out to be a bad seller/ebayer !

    Im so so annoyed yes I understand the incovienience and I did apologise prefusely

    Did he really need to leave neg feedback ?? could he not have just put neutral and a comment like " decided not to go through with sale"

    A very unhappy camper

    I'm sure you can get the feedback over turned if you contact ebay and the seller.

      Feel for you fella, it does seem that in certain situations ebay leaves the seller out on a limb.

      Perhaps try contacting the guy and ask if he might change over to a neutral comment. Got to be worth a try.

      Good luck with it.

            This sort of s*** does my head in, just leave an honest reply on the feedback page hope most people will see that your genuine, some people are just never happy.

              I find it amusing he walked away from the sale because it wouldnt start? But yet bid to buy a smashed up reliant robin in the first place! No pleasing some people

                the add did state starts and drives , which it does but on that morning it happened to be freezing cold and was flooded I tried my best to get it to go and was fine with him walking away (oh that was after he offered £40 to just take it as it was !! he won at £180!)

                Hence why i was so apologetic

                but seriously to then go and ruin my hard earned 100% feedback .... seriously ! was there really the need to do that ?

                    In the words of Terry Wogan- "Is it me"?
                    Sorry, Audinut, but did you HONESTLY expect the type of guy who buys a 2nd hand Robin to be what we would call 'normal'? He was only interested in it 'cos he can't pass a Proper Driving test. Wierdo!
                    Ha Ha.

                              Sold some E38 type "dude" a nice after market steering wheel for a GTi MK2, description was good overall condition, some light ware, all stitching perfect.

                              I get an email from the guy saying he was not happy with the condition and accusing me of photoshopping the image, which I most certainly did not I can't even use that program. That got my back up, I just took a couple of shots and chose the one that showed the overall condition best. It was in nice condition, just slightly more worn on the drivers side as could be seen in the pic.

                              Anyway, I offered him a partial/full refunds, heard nothing more from him for ten days the he leaves me bad feedback.:corey::corey::corey::corey:

                              So in short he decided he likes it now and will leave bad-feed back to spite me.
